From 2de770a406b06dfc619faabbf5d85c835ed3f2e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:25:49 -0500 Subject: ext4: fix potential buffer head leak when add_dirent_to_buf() returns ENOSPC Previously add_dirent_to_buf() did not free its passed-in buffer head in the case of ENOSPC, since in some cases the caller still needed it. However, this led to potential buffer head leaks since not all callers dealt with this correctly. Fix this by making simplifying the freeing convention; now add_dirent_to_buf() *never* frees the passed-in buffer head, and leaves that to the responsibility of its caller. This makes things cleaner and easier to prove that the code is neither leaking buffer heads or calling brelse() one time too many.
